An introduction to contemporary cryptology

Massey, J.L.·1988·Proceedings of the IEEE

Abstract

An appraisal is given of the current status, both technical and nontechnical, of cryptologic research. The principal concepts of both secret-key and public-key cryptography are described. C.E. Shanon's theory of secrecy (1949) and G.J. Simon's theory authenticity (1984) are reviewed for the insight that they give into practical cryptographic systems. Public-key concepts are illustrated through consideration of the Diffie-Hellman public-key-distribution system and the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman public-key cryptosystem. The subtleties of cryptographic protocols are shown through consideration of some such specific protocols.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
